HP Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide

2. The second way to specify the location of the License Key file post-installation is by using the
LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. To set this environment variable, bring up the System
Properties dialog from the start menu, as follows:
Start > Control Panel > System
Select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables. Under System variables,
click New—this brings up the New System Variable dialog in
Figure 4-4 Setting the
LM_LICENSE_FILE system variable on page 17.

Enter the path to the local License Key file. Multiple paths may be entered, separated by
semicolons, such as:
C:\licenses;C:\backuplicenses
The RGS Sender will sequentially examine each folder, from left to right, until it finds a folder
containing a valid local License Key file.
NOTE: If a License Key file is specified and found during Sender installation, it will be copied
into the folder C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender or C:
\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender, according to
your operating system. License Key files found in folders specified by the LM_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable are not copied; they are read in-place.
If a License Key file location is specified during Sender installation and is also specified by the
LM_LICENSE_FILE variable, the RGS Sender will look in both locations for a valid local License
Key file at Sender startup. The Sender will first look in the location(s) specified by the
LM_LICENSE_FILE. If the Sender fails to find a valid license, it will then look in the folder C:
\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender or C:\Program
Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender for a valid license.
